  <p>It&#39;s exciting to see the number of real-world React applications and components skyrocket over the past months! This community round-up features a few examples of inspiring React applications and components.</p>

<h2>React in the Real World</h2>

<h3>Facebook Lookback video editor</h3>

<p>Large parts of Facebook&#39;s web frontend are already powered by React. The recently released Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lookback/edit/">Lookback video and its corresponding editor</a> are great examples of a complex, real-world React app.</p>

<h3>Russia&#39;s largest bank is now powered by React</h3>

<p>Sberbank, Russia&#39;s largest bank, recently switched large parts of their site to use React, as detailed in <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/reactjs/Kj6WATX0atg">this post by Vyacheslav Slinko</a>.</p>

<h3>Relato</h3>

<p><a href="https://bripkens.github.io/relato/">Relato</a> by <a href="https://github.com/bripkens">Ben Ripkens</a> shows Open Source Statistics based on npm data. It features a filterable and sortable table built in React. Check it out &ndash; it&#39;s super fast!</p>

<h3>Makona Editor</h3>

<p>John Lynch (<a href="https://twitter.com/johnrlynch">@johnrlynch</a>) created Makona, a block-style document editor for the web. Blocks of different content types comprise documents, authored using plain markup. At the switch of a toggle, block contents are then rendered on the page. While not quite a WYSIWYG editor, Makona uses plain textareas for input. This makes it compatible with a wider range of platforms than traditional rich text editors.

<h3>Create Chrome extensions using React</h3>

<p>React is in no way limited to just web pages. Brandon Tilley (<a href="https://twitter.com/BinaryMuse">@BinaryMuse</a>) just released a detailed walk-through of <a href="http://brandontilley.com/2014/02/24/creating-chrome-extensions-with-react.html">how he built his Chrome extension &quot;Fast Tab Switcher&quot; using React</a>.</p>

<h3>Twitter Streaming Client</h3>

<p>Javier Aguirre (<a href="https://twitter.com/javaguirre">@javaguirre</a>) put together a simple <a href="http://javaguirre.net/2014/02/11/twitter-streaming-api-with-node-socket-io-and-reactjs/">twitter streaming client using node, socket.io and React</a>.</p>

<h3>Sproutsheet</h3>

<p><a href="http://sproutsheet.com/">Sproutsheet</a> is a gardening calendar. You can use it to track certain events that happen in the life of your plants. It&#39;s currently in beta and supports localStorage, and data/image import and export.</p>

<h3>Instant Domain Search</h3>

<p><a href="https://instantdomainsearch.com/">Instant Domain Search</a> also uses React. It sure is instant!</p>

<h3>SVG-based graphical node editor</h3>

<p><a href="http://noflojs.org/">NoFlo</a> and <a href="http://meemoo.org/">Meemoo</a> developer <a href="http://www.forresto.com/">Forresto Oliphant</a> built an awesome SVG-based <a href="https://forresto.github.io/prototyping/react/">node editor</a> in React.
 <figure><a href="https://forresto.github.io/prototyping/react/"><img src="/img/blog/react-svg-fbp.png" alt=""></a></figure></p>

<h3>Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe Game in React</h3>

<p>Rafał Cieślak (<a href="https://twitter.com/Ravicious">@Ravicious</a>) wrote a <a href="https://ravicious.github.io/ultimate-ttt/">React version</a> of <a href="http://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2013/06/16/ultimate-tic-tac-toe/">Ultimate Tic Tac Toe</a>. Find the source <a href="https://github.com/ravicious/ultimate-ttt">here</a>.</p>

<h3>ReactJS Gallery</h3>

<p><a href="https://github.com/lele85">Emanuele Rampichini</a>&#39;s <a href="https://github.com/lele85/ReactGallery">ReactJS Gallery</a> is a cool demo app that shows fullscreen images from a folder on the server. If the folder content changes, the gallery app updates via websockets.</p>

<p>Emanuele shared this awesome demo video with us:</p>

<h2>React Components</h2>

<h3>Table Sorter</h3>

<p><a href="https://bgerm.github.io/react-table-sorter-demo/">Table Sorter</a> by <a href="https://github.com/bgerm">bgerm</a> [<a href="https://github.com/bgerm/react-table-sorter-demo">source</a>] is another helpful React component.</p>

<h3>Static-search</h3>

<p>Dmitry Chestnykh <a href="https://twitter.com/dchest">@dchest</a> wrote a <a href="https://github.com/dchest/static-search">static search indexer</a> in Go, along with a <a href="http://www.codingrobots.com/search/">React-based web front-end</a> that consumes search result via JSON.</p>

<h3>Lorem Ipsum component</h3>

<p><a href="https://github.com/martinandert">Martin Andert</a> created <a href="https://github.com/martinandert/react-lorem-component">react-lorem-component</a>, a simple component for all your placeholding needs.</p>

<h3>Input with placeholder shim</h3>

<p><a href="https://github.com/enigma-io/react-input-placeholder">react-input=placeholder</a> by <a href="https://github.com/enigma-io">enigma-io</a> is a small wrapper around React.DOM.input that shims in placeholder functionality for browsers that don&#39;t natively support it.</p>

<h3>diContainer</h3>
